Rising Lotus Counseling is the Brattleboro based practice of Ted Walls, LMHC, and
is dedicated to the idea that there is a warm compassionate presence alive in each
of us that is capable of holding our most difficult experiences and healing our deepest
wounds. My goal as a therapist is to help clients begin to identify and change the
habitual patterns of reactivity that may be clouding their lives and relationships,
become more relaxed and mindful about their emotions and motivations, and find greater
clarity in the actions they take. In my practice, I see couples, individual adults
and adolescents. I have over ten years of experience helping clients dealing with
a wide range of issues including: depression, anxiety, addictions of all kinds, trauma
recovery, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, mood instability,
and relationship difficulties. My approach focuses on helping clients create a better
relationship with themselves and others by using proven techniques and exercises
that are immediately accessible from the very first session. My goal is to provide
a warm and inviting environment that supports personal growth and self-acceptance.

“We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly
resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kinder and more open
to what scares us. We always have this choice.” -
